Ticket to hell??

If the only way to heaven is thru christ, what happened to all those folks who died without ever hearing about him?
 
The answer depends on the denomination you are asking. Ask a Unitarian and a Pentecostal that same question and you will get radically different answers.
 
They know Him in death. He judges them accoring to how they lived their lives, like He does the rest of us.
There is no place in hell for a good heart that gave love to others. God is so in love with His people, that whatever you do for one person, as far as He's concerned, you did it for Him.
There are so many reasons why someone would not know Christ while on earth. And Christ knows what each of them are.

But there's a difference between not knowing Him and actively trying to reject Him or make others reject Him.
 
thats one. and it seems a rational way for a god to behave. but i seem to remember other less sensible theories.
 
really? who says so, did he tell you that GIGI, or is it once again what men wrote down on paper? what about a person like me who really doesn't believe in the fact that there is a heaven where some will attend and some won't. I guess if there is a heaven People like me will have what it takes to get there even though we may not have the belief and there will be a lot of people who have the belief but have done little to prove they are worthy who might just have to stay here in Hell on earth.
 
a lot of people believe that if you accept Christ you have the passage, but I think it will take a lot more than that if there is a place like heaven.

It's in your heart people, it's not what is in your head.
 
i wouldnt worry, it seems if you dont believe there is a heaven, you likely wont have to attend. i dont plan on it at any rate.

Gabriel - I'm gonna leave a pass for you at the pearly gates, just to piss you off! But if you get there and they don't know my name, well them's the shits, for you AND me!
 
Well, I believe what I believe. As do you. And you don't state your opinions as opinions. You state them as facts, too. So it must not matter that much. Must not make that big a difference after all.

But either way, he seems to suppose the same thing that I believe is the truth. So I don't really know where the beef is.
 
thats an opinion. facts are facts all the time not just some of the time. if i thought it was a fact, i would have said always.

That is not a position that can be justified by the Bible. If what you say is true, then there was never any need for a Paschal Lamb. According to the Bible, all of us are condemned at birth by the inherited original sin of Adam and Eve.

You have invented your own religion - one that is in harmony with your personal feelings. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it is dishonest to call it "Christianity".

So if a person hears about Jesus from some missionary....but stays true to the religion of their mother and father (Hinduism, Islam, Shintoism, etc.).....are they "actively rejecting" Him?
